Knowledge

This past month have been very interesting, enlightening and at the same time quite draining for me. I just completed 3 weeks of MMBA in the Netherlands; a short crash course to MBA for those who did not formally go to a b-school. I learnt corporate finance, microeconomics, operations, strategy and marketting from the world's leading b-school professors and the firm's covert agents.

Besides calculating Weighted average cost of capital (WACCs), ROIC, Cash flows, and other such technical entities, I also learnt more abstract concepts on marketting and strategy. At times, I felt reassured that the capital world can indeed be quite manipulative and evil. Game theory or Nash Equilibrium was another interesting concept. My key take away is to make decisions that avoids conflicts and shoots for a win-win situation. At the same time, I felt it was a non-risk taking approach. It was a lot of fun during the three weeks. I was also locked up in a training center with Phds, Law and Medical school graduates from Harvard, Yale and the like. So there was no shortage of competitive people but I did manage to have good fun and made lasting friendship with some amazing people.

I will post some pictures when I get the time. Its just that these days I feel quite drained, emotionally and mentally. I think I do know the answer why but I am avoiding it.
